Details are in bug 461669 comment 14. 

But, to repeat, I tried using 

<p2.composite.repository validate="org.eclipse.equinox.artifact.md5.comparator">

to find errors when one child repository had artifacts that matched version and qualifier, but had different checksums. 

I was expecting to get warnings or errors logged, since there was at least one known case that was "off". 

I did not get even one error or warning, 

I looked  a little closer, and found several more that should have been flagged as "errors". 

Am I not understanding what 'validate' does? (or, supposed to do?)

FWIW, I was using Eclipse 4.4.0.
